Today, we upgraded all our blogs to WordPress 2.6.2. The update fixes some security issues. More info can be found on the WordPress blog.

Spring is in the air… time for some blog cleaning. Today I installed version 2.5 of WordPress on this blog and on our family blog. This update contains a major rework of the admin area of the blog. You won’t see any spectacular changes, but I will

On our family blog, I upgraded the Coppermine fotoalbum to the latest version. No major changes there, just security updates and bugfixes. 

In the meantime, I added some plugins too: the All in one SEO pack and the WordPress database backup plugin. 

All should be working fine now. If you find a bug, let me know. 

I made a tough decision today. I decided to abandon SharePoint as a blogging tool, and I am switching to WordPress.

Why this move?

• the standard site template for blogs in SharePoint is rather limited, especially for the typical web 2.0 features (pingbacks, comments, tagging…)
• writing content is sometimes very painful. Ever tried embedding a Youtube video?
• there are some nice extensions (tag cloud, Enhanced blog Edition) but my hosting provider did not manage to install them properly
• SharePoint hosting costs me money
• I am using WordPress for our family blog and it is working great
• my friend Gert is giving great service for the php hosting.

So if you have this blog in your feedreader, don’t forget to update the feed!
